Avatar m tn PVD produces similar symptoms and is also more common in diabetics. PVD stands for Peripheral Vascular Disease and PAD stands for Peripheral Arterial Disease. They are often used interchangeably. This condition effects the blood vessels in the lower extremities (often other vessels in the body too). So instead of effecting the nerves as in Diabetic Neuropathy PVD effects the blood (oxygen and nutrients) supply.

304573 tn?1345577338 This comes from a side effect handbook written by hepatologists. See chapter on Peripheral neuropathies Page 96...... http://www.projectsinknowledge.com/Init/G/1628/1628-Handbook.pdf Re your blood sugar being high..... "no i am not diabetic but they tried to tell me i was on the verge of becoming a type 2 - 2 years ago" You mean they told you you were "borderline diabetic"? There's no such thing as a "borderline diabetic".

Avatar f tn Hello, Without examination,confirming a diagnosis is tough but various possibilities are there for your symptoms. Are you a diabetic or do you take alcohol?Such senastions are common in alcoholics and metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidismThey can also be due to peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or malnutrition. Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated.
Avatar f tn I believe it was that she had poor blood circulations in her legs due to them giving out on her and causing her to loose feeling. You may want to get test to see if are a diabetic. Usually diabetics have this problem and people that have arthritis to. I will suggest you check with your doctor about this matter. If you don't have diabetes, then you might have arthritis and don't know you have it. keep me updated on your problem. Im glad I could help.
Avatar m tn Hello! If you have a broken foot, buerger's disease, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, hyperventilation, hypocalcemia or polyneuritis then you have associated foot numbness and tingling. There are other causes but these are the most common problems. You need to get yourself checked of diabetes, blood pressure, anemia and also mineral balance to diagnose the problem if you have it in a chronic way then I suggest you to see a neurologist. Take care!
Avatar f tn ) I have daily struggles with peripheral neuropathy, but am so glad to be alive and able to do most everything that I want to do. So, enough about me. I see that you've had a double mastectomy and reconstruction and that you are troubled by the incisions. I can tell you that my incisions healed to thin pink lines in a little under a year after each mastectomy. I look like I have a lumpy (I am overweight - sigh.) blank chest. With time you will have a lot of healing.
Avatar n tn People with diabetes often experience sensory loss in their feet as the initial indication of diabetic peripheral neuropathy but multiple motor and autonomic symptoms are also potential problems (that's the "poly" part). I hope that helps to sum it up a little. Do you have diabetes? Are you afraid you might have MS? If you can to tell us a little more we might be able to help you sort it out a little before you check with your doctor.
Avatar f tn With diabetes, are you saying you have diabetes? How is your kidney function? Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is something a doctors visit is a MUST. Put your feet UP (higher) and cut way down on salt -- but really, with all the reasons why you could have pitting peripheral edema AND your diabetes, you need a doctor to get involved. ESPECALLY if you say you have chest pain. I actually think an ER or Urgent Care would be prudent. Let us know how you are doing!

Avatar m tn Write down all your questions and answers and try to take someone with you, because you are apt to forget some things. My husband is diabetic, has high BP, peripheral neuropathy and many other health issues. I too, have often thought his medications were to blame, and I go over them with his pharmacist and doctor. I have found a few problems they missed, so it's always a good idea to stay on top of this. Ask why you take each medication and how will it interact with the others.
